has anyone been deffered, waitlisted, or rejected from Cornell, but have been able to get in at other ivy leagues or schools of similar caliber?

Better is kind of a subjective term, so I'm not really sure how to take it...

But I got waitlisted at Cornell, which I was pretty surprised at to be honest, not to sound arrogant or anything, though.

And I was accepted to Brown RD, UChicago EA, and got into the Honors Program at Notre Dame which takes the top 1-2% of applicants, so I don't know.

I gave up on trying to figure out the college process.

I got rejected from Cornell as a transfer, but got into Brown. Rejected from Dartmouth and Hopkins as well.
